King Charles III has for the first time signalled his support for research into the British monarchy's historical links with slavery. Buckingham Palace said in a statement in response to "The Guardian" that the 74-year-old monarch took the issue of slavery "profoundly seriously". It marks the first royal endorsement of its kind as it emerged that independent research is underway to explore the historic links between royalty and slave trading.
